Haha, it's just joking... right?

Usually when it gets that low it means you overheated a controller.

I've never had that happen before. What's the basic rundown? No idea how to search that without getting results for gaming controllers.
>>
>>108959801
Windows moment. Linux doesn't have this problem.

it's windows defender scanning for malware while you copy shit
>>
>>108959881
A high quantity of small file writes is especially hard on flash drives due to each one creating a transaction.
You'd be better off zipping it into one file, and then unzipping it.
>>
>>108960047
I see. Thanks, anon.

>>108959801
I wonder if you can make it go faster by opening up your computer and pointing a fan at it
>>
>>108959889
This is so true, I first noticed this 20+ years ago and nothing has changed. I don't know why file transfers are so atrociously slow and unstable on Windows, but it's never a problem on Linux, especially now with most of my external storage being formatted ext4.

why????
>>
if you ever end up with more than 10,000 files in a project you are a bad programmer
>>
>>108961029
It doesn't. Look at the fucking graph op posted. progress stopped because the idiot's hard drive died. I routinely copy folders in windows with 200k files all the time and it isn't a problem, you're just a fucking stupid linuxtrannie
>>
>>108961029
xD try pulling out the drive after your "instantaneous file copy"
linux actually just lies to you and moves things in the background after the dialogue box closes, you actually have to use "sync" to actually check if things are done copying or not
>>
>>108959898
Under rated comment.

I’m a windows dev and IT mandated windows defender be turned on and it would sequester every exe as it came out of the linker.
We immediately turned it off and/or excluded c: drive but weren’t allowed to tell anybody. So…
1. Get fired for turning it off -or-
2. Get fired for being useless/0 productivity leaving it on.

This is how CEOs earn their pay.
>>
>>108959801
You bought a drive without checking the benchmarks first. Most flash drives can only handle sequential file transfers.
>>
>>108960047
I thought this is common knowledge? We always tar something before pulling it due to overhead
If zip just store, no need for the compression

lol

windows also does this retard
every system does

weird way to say anyone who does anything nontrivial in javascript or at least uses node_modules is a bad programmer
>>
>>108959801
Next time learn about putting your files into an archive and then copying said archive.
>>
Worst thing about windows transfer is it just freezing and you having to restart your pc and that causes error sectors on external drives,fucking them up.
Never had a problem with this shit on linux.
>>
>>108959801
>the retard doesn't archive all 30k files into a zip/rar before copying it to some slow as fuck usb storage device
lol

not how it works

yes it 100% does happen on linux

schizo lolcows are amazing
>>
>>108962212
Try transfering files to a external drive and restart your pc. Check any smart app for errors and you are gonna get them.
And if you tell me with a straight face that windows transfer can't freeze or become completely unresponsive then you are a fucking liar.
And before your computer illiterate pajeet ass even recommends terminating the process in explorer, yeah, that just fucks up everything on windows since everything is connected.

Le Sandisk flash face

I think only flash storage that has been rejected for every other use case is qualified to go into their shit sticks.
Add like 5MB of "fast" cache so you can advertise higher speeds and then further mislead in your product description by showing how fast USB3 is, in theory, compared to USB2, even though the stick will never, ever even reach peak USB2 speeds and BAM, billions of units sold.

Yes. linux doesn't have this issue.

I use btrfs on external hdds on windows since ntfs a shit
>>
>>108961430
Why does that happen on Linux?
>>
>>108963913
Because Linux uses writeback cache. It's kind of obvious. Windows will try and be smart and disable fs caching it to save retards from themselves.

Use case of lying about copying files before you actually finish copying them?

why are lintroons so fucking obnoxious theyre like the vegans of computing
>>
>>108963933
Is there no way for file managers to let the user know when files have actually been moved? Other than using the sync command in the terminal.
>>
>>108963975
huh? this is how filesystems have worked forever. if you want proper durable storage systems, you have to opt into them. that's just how the world works. Is it right? no, but here we are. On Linux, you have to be the master of your own destiny. On Windows, you can still have the same exact Linux behavior on usb dongles, you just have to opt-in because too many retards didn't read the "safely remove device" taskbar thing.
>>
>>108959801
Usually happens when there's a combination of shit hardware and an ungodly amount of individual files/subdirectories. Moving a standalone 3 GB .bin file will always be faster than moving 3 GB worth of individual text files that are organized within their own subdirectories.

which is why you should use robocopy instead of the shitty COM Shell.Application crap to do bulk copying.

Not a problem, just use robocopy.

It is. It also supports most older systems and the Dreamcast.

This makes no sense. If SQLite files are stored on disk, how does reading from SQLite files on disk beat reading from a disk?
>>
>>108967606
It's much faster to read from one file (sqlite .db) than many files, even on slow filesystems (NTFS).
>>
>>108960047
why doesn't the file system try do this itself when it detects these kinds of situations?

Right
>>
>>108963485
>doesn't work
transferring one file is much faster than trying to transfer 30k individual files
>no it doesn't
that's because you don't use linux at all and prefer to mash your computer illiterate hamfists on your ipad
>completely wrong
anon is completely right, computer illiterate simpleton. it's amazing how this is a tech board and you have losers and lolcows like you larping on this board like you know things. you're a fucking idiot.

>>108967639
Oh, that would explain it. Thanks.
